The best time to visit is May, June or September, when crowds thin out and you get pleasant weather without the strong meltemi winds that hit in July and August.<\/div>\n<!-- \/lk-tldr -->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are you looking for the real, postcard-perfect Cyclades with dazzling white houses and blue shutters, but dread the idea of paying a hundred euros for a sun lounger and squeezing through crowds from cruise ships in the alleys? Then <strong>Paros in Greece<\/strong> is exactly what you need. This island isn&#8217;t nicknamed &#8220;the little Mykonos without the Mykonos prices&#8221; by chance, and it&#8217;s one of the most elegant, yet still affordable, destinations in all of Greece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paros works as a <strong>golden middle ground<\/strong>. You&#8217;ll find narrow lanes bursting with bougainvillea, stylish boutiques and caf\u00e9s, movie-worthy fishing harbours, and gorgeous beaches where the water looks like it belongs in the Seychelles. And all of that without having to sell a kidney. The island mainly attracts couples, food lovers, and anyone chasing that balance between relaxation and style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this guide I&#8217;ll show you <strong>15 things to see and do on Paros<\/strong>, from magical Naoussa through granite beaches to a day trip to bohemian Antiparos. Let&#8217;s dive in. \u263a\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a757f7597e4a&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a757f7597e4a\"

The island&#8217;s main draw is the enormous <strong>stalactite cave<\/strong> in its centre, which you descend into via 411 steps and which ranks among the oldest visited caves in the world.

Sitting in a waterside taverna in Naoussa, where the tables sway above the surface, is a gastronomic experience in itself, even if you only have a salad and a carafe of wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_to_visit_Paros_weather_and_best_time\"><\/span>When to visit Paros (weather and best time)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As on the rest of the Cyclades, on Paros in Greece <strong>July and August are the hottest and busiest<\/strong>. In these months the meltemi wind also blows strongest here, which cools things pleasantly in the heat but whips up the waves and can complicate the ferries. Windsurfers, on the other hand, love it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best months are <strong>May, June and September<\/strong>. In spring the island is fresh and blooming, the sea is already warm enough for swimming and the crowds haven&#8217;t arrived yet, while September offers warm water and a more relaxed atmosphere. If you&#8217;re mainly heading here for romance and calm, bet on September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_stay_on_Paros_the_best_hotels\"><\/span>Where to stay on Paros: the best hotels<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\ud83d\udca1 Tip for accommodation and experiences: We prefer to look for accommodation on <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Booking.com\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/doporucujeme\/booking-com\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Booking.com<\/a>, which usually has the best cancellation terms.

Worth a trip are the mountain village of Lefkes in the interior and especially the neighboring island of Antiparos with its giant stalactite cave. The island is ideal for couples and lovers of good food.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1780300500001\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_is_the_island_of_Paros_located\"><\/span>Where is the island of Paros located?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Paros lies in the heart of the Cyclades in the Aegean Sea, right next to the island of Naxos and not far from Mykonos and Santorini. It is among the most accessible Cycladic islands, excellently connected by ferries to Athens (both Piraeus and Rafina ports) and to the surrounding islands, making it perfect as part of island hopping.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1780300500002\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Paros_expensive\"><\/span>Is Paros expensive?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Paros is more expensive than, say, neighboring Naxos, but significantly cheaper than Mykonos or Santorini, where prices tend to be 40 to 60% higher. It therefore offers excellent value for money, Cycladic beauty and elegance at reasonable prices. The most expensive is fashionable Naoussa, while you&#8217;ll find cheaper accommodation in Parikia or near the southern beaches.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1780300500003\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_is_the_most_beautiful_island_Paros_or_Naxos\"><\/span>Which is the most beautiful island, Paros or Naxos?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>It depends on what you&#8217;re looking for. Naxos is more family-friendly, more rustic and has the best sandy beaches for children, while Paros is more elegant, more cosmopolitan and more stylish, ideal for couples. Both islands are neighbors and can easily be combined during one holiday with a short ferry ride.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1780300500004\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_to_go_to_Paros\"><\/span>When to go to Paros?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The best times are May, June and September. In May and June the island is fresh, blooming and the sea is already swimmable, while September offers warm water and a calmer atmosphere after the main season. July and August are the hottest and busiest, with the strongest meltemi winds, which windsurfers love.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1780300500005\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_get_to_Paros\"><\/span>How to get to Paros?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>You can most commonly reach Paros by ferry from the Athens ports of Piraeus or Rafina, with the journey taking approximately 3 to 4 hours (less by fast ferry). The island also has a small airport with domestic flights from Athens. Thanks to its location in the center of the Cyclades, Paros is excellently connected to the surrounding islands as well, making it easy to include in island hopping.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What to see on Paros in Greece?
